She's better looking than the snooker ref, right? 

No not quite. It's still on now if you want to check.

Are you and @Raj going to argue over this too?

 

I can't turn over, I'm half an hour behind on BBC2

I’m really enjoying the bits that I have seen. Last night thought Sparks were brilliant. Foos also very good..Hot Chip I’d never heard of before but their set last night very good.

Enjoyed The Pretenders today and Manic Street Preachers fantastic. Not a huge Guns and Roses fan but Slash was brilliant....

Fat Boy Slim incredible spectacle.....

It used to be that one was 6 string, one had 12 strings. 

 

It's two 6 separate six strings though isn't it? 

 

Slash could make a piece of string tied to a plank of wood sound amazing, so I'm just wondering whats different.

Saw Hot Chip live a couple of years ago supporting New Order. They were pretty good.

 

Over and over and over...

If you are looking for a brilliant guitarist I’ll throw the late (way too soon) Andy Gill into the mix

I really enjoyed Blossoms and Rick Astley doing a set of Smiths stuff earlier. Even if Rick did mess up quite a few times.

Looking forward to Elton tomorrow now. Cat Stevens in the Sunday legends slot not so much

FS smashing it. Started from the beginning after guns

Rick Astley is banned in my household.

 

The Mrs went to see Take That (I know, right) and Astley was supporting. 

 

Now, my Mrs is the most laid back woman in the world, she has to be, she lives with me, but Rick Astley made her blood boil.

 

She said she's never ever seen such an arrogant cvnt, ever.

 

And just a reminder, she lives with me

He’s like one of these session musicians popping up everywhere 😜

[Samilktray]

Can’t imagine sitting through 2 hours of Guns & Roses. Absolutely honking

He's a legend though ain't he?

 

Nirvana and the Foo's?

 

He could walk in to a recording studio, on his own, play every instrument, sing, then mix it, produce it and release it.

 

Not many people could do that.

 

Again, meant to be a lovely guy too.

Blimey, just flicked over to Christine & The Queens (I liked the first album) and she's basically performing topless. 

 

Though I read it's he/him now and Chris. 

 

Jesus Christ.

 

You weren't joking were you????

OK, so the Mrs has gone to bed and I've watched this.

 

It's genuinely incredible! 

 

What a weird mashup though. 

 

Next year, I want Chesney Hawkes and The Snuts doing the hits of The Stone Roses.

 

And that is no weirder than what I've just seen.

[Samilktray]

Loyle Carner & Mahalia both superb tonight 

[tom27111]

Just been watching a few acts on catchup.

 

Honestly, my favourites so far are Texas and The Pretenders. 

 

Sharleen and Chrissie doing it for the girls!

 

It's often the ones you least expect, but they were awesome.

[urban.spaceman]

Loving Fatboy Slim's set.

 

Rita Ora needs to take her husband's (Taika Waititi) surname.

 

Not for misogynistic reasons but because Rita Waititi would be ****ing iconic.

 

Yes I am high

[tom27111]

Just get me in the middle of the crowd for The Courteeners.

 

So many good songs.

 

And yeah, you'd have to be going absolutely crazy when they play Not 19 Forever.

Things I've learnt from this Glasto:

 

You would kill for your Mrs to have legs like Chrissy Hind

 

The Arctic Monkeys aren't that good

 

Slash is

 

Dave Grohl will do anything for a pint

 

Johnny Marr is the coolest man in the world

 

Sharleen Spiteri is the coolest woman in the world

 

Rick Astley could easily replace Morrisey

 

Royal Blood make a LOT of noise for just 2 people

 

The best sets aren't the headliners

Just more depressing stuff to add to the already depressing stuff.

Astley couldn't replace Mozza at all. His singing is too "vibrato" constantly, and his voice is too deep of a register. 

 

Blossoms did an excellent job of playing the Smiths songs, especially the guitar and bass players.

 

I enjoyed his own set, and he even played the drums to ACDC, which he also ****ed up because of his trousers (or so he said).
